Office of Medical Education

Educating physicians to serve diverse populations

The Office of Medical Education (OME) supports the primary mission of the Larner College of Medicine: to educate a diverse group of dedicated physicians and biomedical scientists. We assist students throughout their medical education experience and beyond, provide faculty development, and facilitate continual improvement of the medical curriculum.

The Curriculum 

The Vermont Integrated Curriculum (VIC) fully integrates primary education in the basic sciences with a solid foundation in basic health science knowledge and clinical skills. Also included are programs in leadership skills, professional development, research and teaching skills.

Active Learning

The Larner College of Medicine delivers curriculum using evidence-based pedagogy, as we rely on evidence-based medicine. This method of active learning teaching methods builds student engagement in constructing knowledge rather than (passively) absorbing knowledge from an expert. Students develop skills, such as clinical reasoning, analysis, and application. In this process, we train doctors to synthesize information and think critically.
